Urinate on hands, get a ball to the face?

After revealing that he urinates on his hands, Posada gets hit in the face with a ball. Karmic Justice?

.Now, I would never wish ill on anyone, especially a great Yankee like Jorge Posada, but, am I the only one who thought Jorge’s recent revelation regarding his batting “secret” was a bit too much information?

For those who don’t know, Chicago Cubs outfielder Moises Alou recently revealed that instead of wearing batting gloves, he urinates on his hands to build up toughness, thus making the gloves unnecessary. The day after the news broke, Posada revealed that he too ascribes to this practice.

I don’t even want to think about how one discovers that this is a good idea, or how the decision is reached to even try it. Well, whatever works for ya man, just don’t think I’ll be shaking your hand anytime soon.

Anyway, get well soon Jorge, and all the best for the rest of 2004.
